Gow and J. Cocks Summary Using original research from Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America, this book reviews the recent restructuring of the global agri-food industry and the dramatic rise of global retail chains in developing and transition countries. It focuses on the private standards and requirements imposed by multinational companies investing in these countries and the resulting changes to existing supply chains. It also examines the impact of these changes on local producers, particularly poor farmers, and considers the long-term policy implications in terms of growth and poverty Analysis globalisering globalization agrarische handel agricultural trade agroindustrial sector voedselvoorziening food supply plattelandsontwikkeling rural development Agricultural Economics (General) International Trade Agrarische economie (algemeen) Internationale handel Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Nutrition policy -- Developing countries Food industry and trade -- Developing countries Globalization -- Developing countries Business logistics -- Developing countries SOCIAL SCIENCE -- General.
